Happy New Year 2019 ! This year RBA Films is celebrating its two decades of unflagging service to Nepali film and entertainment industry. To mark this event RBA is making all the necessary preparations to launch a new program that will surely prove to be a milestone for Nepali film industry. Teams from Nepal, Hong Kong and USA are jointly working day and night on this project that will be unveiled in the coming months. RBA Films considers this project as a part of its constant efforts to update, upgrade and tackle the challenges thrown by ever changing technological advancements. During its inception towards late 1990s RBA Films was probably the first Nepali production and rental house to make a successful transition from a linear analog to non-linear digital set up. RBA was again quick to accept the demand and challenges given by premium television channels when they decided to launch international reality shows like Nepal Idol Season I & II, Boogie Woogie, The Voice of Nepal and Who wants be a millionaire? RBA had played a huge role while importing state of the art technological equipments needed for these programs.

After the successful collaboration with AP 1 Television Channel in providing technical support to Nepal Idol Season 1 and Boogie Woogie Season 1 RBA is proud to announce that it is currently assisting Nepal Idol Season 2 and the Voice of Nepal – another equally popular reality television show being broadcast on Kantipur Television. RBA was able to bring world class and state of the art lighting equipments customized for the Voice of Nepal.

Our constant efforts to import first class professional technical equipments at an affordable rate have made RBA a favorite amongst production houses and television channels. We are providing technical support to yet another world famous reality Television show in an immediate future.
